Discussion:

Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) and IBEW are continuing contract
negotiations.  A proposed contract has been submitted for a vote by      
covered employees.  The current contract expires at 12:00 midnight       
Saturday, August 15, 1998.  Affected employees include licensed Reactor  
Operators, electricians, and mechanics.                                  
                                                                         
Regional and resident inspectors have reviewed the licensee's strike     
contingency plan.  There are sufficient licensed operators to continue   
plant operations for the near term. Additional simulator training has    
been conducted for response to a Steam Generator Tube Rupture due to     
increasing tube leakage in the Unit 1 'B' Steam Generator.               
                                                                         
Unit 1 is scheduled to be shut down on October 3, 1998, for a scheduled  
refueling outage.
